    Thermal Properties and Thermal Analysis: Fundamentals, Experimental Techniques and Applications

    The chapter provides a summary of the fundamental concepts that are needed to understand the heat capacity CP, thermal conductivity κ, and thermal expansion coefficient αL of materials. The CP, κ, and αL of vario...

    Crystallization Kinetics in Amorphous and Glassy Materials

    Glassy materials lack the periodic atomic arrangements typical for crystals. They are by definition prepared by cooling a viscous glass-forming liquid fast enough to avoid crystallization. This way of preparat...

    Structural Relaxation and Viscosity Behavior in Supercooled Liquids at the Glass Transition

    Glasses are amorphous materials that lack the periodicity of crystalline substances. Structurally, they resemble metastable supercooled liquids but behave mechanically like solids. A typical way of preparing g...

    Viscosity Measurements Applied to Chalcogenide Glass-Forming Systems

    Viscosity is an important physical parameter which determines the flow of material. The knowledge of viscous behaviour is important for example for the process of the material production. In the case of glasse...
